traillanced needs to construct a road through its lands and a ballista capable of practical use in sieges.

their job is to provide protection to migrants and caravans, operate the most nonlethal and strict divinr punishment possible, and cleanse large wildlife/undead

Ballistae, you say? That might just work with my setup...

Btw, does running a road through a place actually do anything?

No, they won't even enter the map on the road unless you block off all the other edges.

Well, I might give it a shot if I have a lot of spare dorfpower... dunno if it's a reanimating biome yet, only human blood rain so far. Coupla creatures, no undead.

Making road makes sure there will no trees pop up and block the caravan.
You can make a road, block other exits and build a roof above the road to offer cover from weird weather.

Traillanced obviously needs upright spikes with impaled foes on them lining the trail.

Fortifications by the traps to catch and display the severed limbs of your foes upon :P

Best design ever, seriously.  Dwarves can't clean the limbs inside of fortifications so they just sit there.

Sit there generating bad thoughts?

Well, I mean the stuff does decay, and the 40.xx pansies probaby do get scared of them . . .  But I think The whole 'Im scared of skeletons' thing is a fantastic arguement to implement a part-time civilian training regime.  They all carry weapons, they get discipline, and they all get a free dorm-room.

  Seriously, all 40.xx emotions encourage you to do is desensitize your dwarves that much faster.  And not leave dead bodies where caravans wagons can get scared of them and die.

Do the wagons themselves have emotion now? I wouldn't be surprised, I've had a few go missing for no reason, so they're slightly silly.

While it wouldn't surprise me, I think it's actually the animals pulling the wagon that causes scuttling.

My baron has no relatives. What would happen to the post should he die?
I want to keep having a baron for roleplaying reasons but accidents do happen.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

Random dwarf, I think, not necessarily in your fort perhaps?

Your baron goes to the next qualified individual.  Im not sure how succession works without inheritence.  Perhaps an election within your fort or the game determines who is 'best' fit from your lot the same way it choses an expedition leader when you embark.

maybe.  I know you can host nobles of other settlements at your fort, but I feel like you'd get a migrant if that happened.
